Evaluation of model performance on the Bayesian Assessment of Sycophancy task using the Abstract setting 1.0 test split of the BASIL dataset, measured by Bayesian error (RMSE).

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | Bayesian Assessment of Sycophancy |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | BASIL Abstract setting 1.0 (test) |
| Metric | Bayesian Error (RMSE) |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Lower is better |
| Results loaded | 18 of 18 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.
